Answers
D.

The California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA).

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The law that is not involved in the regulation of employee background checks is B. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The GLBA is a federal law that regulates the privacy and security of financial information collected, used, or shared by financial institutions, such as banks, insurance companies, or securities firms. The GLBA does not apply to employee background checks, unless the employer is a financial institution that obtains financial information from a consumer reporting agency for employment purposes. In that case, the employer must comply with the GLBA's notice and opt-out requirements, as well as the FCRA's requirements for using consumer reports.Reference:
